Spoil Me More, Dear Huaband

Tess Baker’s eyes glazed over and before she knew what was going on, there was more than a little warmth on her face and rolling tears running down her cheeks. It was then she realized she was crying, feeling a bit lousy, and hurriedly wiped away her tears!

“Keeping Wendy Summer here is also because you pissed me off with Dennis Gate and I’m using her to … piss you off.” Bowen Carter says the last two words in a weird way, and he realizes just how much childish stuff he’s done in relation to Tess Baker!

The little one also stopped crying and asked with red, swollen eyes, “Are … you telling the truth?”

“Can I get money for lying to you?” Bowen Carter slapped him lightly on the back of the head and asked coldly in return, “Do I need to give you a lie detector to try?”

The little guy hemmed and hawed and kept quiet.

Such truth came too suddenly, rushed Tess Baker brain a dizzy, as if in the clouds, that always heavy heart finally relaxed, but also vaguely with a few points of sweetness and touching.

It turned out that it had been a misunderstanding all along, and he … really liked her!

The bruised heart began to turn smooth and red, beating violently, one at a time, as if it were about to burst out of his chest.

“That was very thoughtful of you to give the cactus.” Bowen Carter said casually as he set the little guy down on the floor and took off his jacket, which had been smeared with a bunch of tears and snot from his son’s eyes.

Tess Baker’s heart, which had drifted to the clouds, was yanked violently back to the ground, and she nodded dryly, having so much to say, but in the end nothing came out.

One of the reasons she’d agreed to let the senior put up the potted plant in the first place was because of the guilt she felt over Mr. Gate’s death, and another was the hatred she felt for Bowen Carter for missing her distress call when he and Wendy Summer had spent the night out.

But now, Bowen Carter’s affair with Wendy Summer was all a misunderstanding on her part …

“So pale and unwell?” Bowen Carter cupped her chin and frowned.

“No.” Tess Baker tried to pull a smile but couldn’t, “Just kinda surprised to know you don’t like Wendy Summer.”

The potted plant had been like a boulder weighing down on her heart, and now that she knew the truth, the potted cactus ball turned directly into a time bomb coiled in her heart, just waiting to find a moment to blow her to smithereens.

Bowen Carter took her in his arms and kissed her gently on the cheek, his cool brow tinted with tenderness, “That night was an accident, and I promise that nothing like that will ever happen again.”

He hugged her a little harder, his voice almost murmuring, “I’m not asking for forgiveness, give me a chance to make it up to you, okay?”

“… Good.” Never in her memory had Bowen Carter been as gentle as he was at this moment, so gentle that Tess Baker had the illusion that she was dreaming. She hugged him back, and her heart, which should have been cheering, died at the moment.

Should she come forward about the potted plant and beg for his forgiveness? So far, The Gate Group had only robbed The Carter Group of one project, so Bowen Carter should forgive her … right?

No, when she’d tried Bowen Carter the other night, he’d obviously been deeply offended by the man who’d leaked the information. If she said anything now, she feared that their relationship, which had just eased less than half an hour ago, would be back to saber rattling!

She’d better think of a way to get the potted plants out of the house sooner rather than later!

…

The next day at breakfast, Aunt Zhang clearly felt that the atmosphere at the table had changed. She saw that Tess gave the young master a dish to eat, and also gave the young master a dish to eat, and the young master’s eyes were red, but he kept smiling, and also gave the husband a dish to eat.

The family was finally living a little like a family, Aunt Zhang smiled.

“Master Carter, try this fried yams with green peppers, it tastes great.” Lucy Kid smiled and took a chopstick of yams and put it into Bowen Carter’s bowl, but her heart was anxious.

How did Master Carter and Tess Baker make up in just one night? With the way they’re bonding, what if Master Carter kicks her out later?

Bowen Carter looked at the bowl of yams and said with a frown, “I’ll have someone send you back to the old house later.”

Grandpa’s hands are all over Beauty Garden, and he can’t do anything about it even if he wanted to; the only thing he can do is send people away sight unseen.

“No!” Lucy Kid looked ham-fisted in her refusal, and after realizing she had overreacted with a couple of dry laughs, she said softly, “I’m not in a good mood when I can’t see you, and that’s not good for the baby either.”

“None of this has anything to do with me.” Bowen Carter said this without a flicker in his demeanor.

Lucy Kid bit her lip as her mind raced, “Grandpa is very attached to this child in my belly, and if he knows you’re against him again, he’ll definitely be upset.”

Master Carter was very close to Master Carter, and she only hoped now that the words would work.

“She’s just one more mouth to feed here, and Beauty Garden doesn’t take less than a bite out of her, so let her stay here.” Tess Baker said before Bowen Carter refused.

She wasn’t afraid of Wendy Summer as long as Bowen Carter didn’t back Wendy Summer up, and there was no need for Bowen Carter to get in trouble with the old man over that little thing.

Bowen Carter gave Lucy Kid a cold sweeping look and looked down at his meal without making another sound.

Lucy Kid was relieved to see this. No matter what happens in the future, at least it stays for now, but she still has to discuss this matter with Mr. Duke in a while, at least she has to have a countermeasure!

“What excess!” Staphen Baker muttered contemptuously as he sat down at a side table. Just as he finished, he sneezed twice in a row, snot coming out of his nose.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

He sniffled and became even more resentful of Tess Baker, if it wasn’t for Tess Baker he wouldn’t have to sit at a table alone to eat, much less freeze and catch a cold!

After dinner, Lucy Kid, for the first time not looking for anything, hurried off.

Staphen Baker gulped as he watched her still-pregnant, chiseled back, his hot, blunt eyes taking in a few hard glances at her perky ass.

“Don’t move anyone you shouldn’t!” Tess Baker gave him a disgusted look and whispered a warning. Staphen Baker was such a downer to the core that it was amazing that he could have thoughts about a face that looked exactly like his own sister’s!

Staphen Baker opened his mouth to curse, but after glancing at the Bowen Carter not far away, scared not yet said all the words swallowed, and slinked away in a wheelchair.

“Come here.” Bowen Carter called out to Tess Baker as she put on her blazer.

Tess Baker gave him a quizzical look, her eyes landed on the tie in his hand, smiled and walked over, catching it. He was growing too tall for her to be comfortable tying his tie, “You’re lower.”

Just as she finished speaking, the long-built man bent down, and she was about to say that this height would be fine when he cupped her face in his hands and kissed her on the lips. First, he took her lips, then he pried her teeth open with a furious effort and dug in.
